Exante diet


imageExante Diet

Exante Diet is a weight management programme focusing on very low calorie diets, which typically consists of 800 kcal (3,300 kJ) per day.

Exante Diet launched in the UK, in 2008, with a diet similar to that of US firm Lighter Life.

Founded by Jackie Delahunty in 2008, Exante Diet initially started as a franchise model where customers bought meal-replacements from a consultant. In 2013, Exante Diet was purchased by The Hut Group and operations were moved to Cheshire.

The core of the Diet consists of 600 calories /day, and utilises fortified formula food specifically developed to reduce the loss of nutrients typical in severe calorie restriction. Like other formulations of this type the approach is intended to initiate significant weight loss, while still providing a sufficient amount of quality protein to protect the bodies lean tissue, the correct level of carbohydrate to promote a mild dietary ketosis (one of the benefits of which is the elimination of hunger), and the correct levels of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and essential fatty acids to maintain good health.

In 2014, former TOWIE cast member Frankie Essex became an ambassador for Exante Diet. In April 2015 Former X Factor winner Sam Bailey became a brand ambassador and is now an affiliate.

The Cambridge Diet


The Cambridge Diet is a diet in which 600 to 1500 kcal are consumed per day, principally in liquids made from commercial products sold as part of the diet regime. These products are manufactured in the UK and include shakes, meal replacement bars, soups and smoothies.

The diet does not help people achieve lasting weight loss and carries a number of health risks.

The Cambridge Diet was developed in 1970 by Dr. Alan Howard at Cambridge University, England. It was launched as a commercial product in the United States in 1980. The Diet was very popular in America but was also the subject of some controversy. It later came under scrutiny from regulators and health authorities after potential health concerns were raised. In the UK, the Cambridge Diet was launched in 1984. In 1986 the Diet was reformulated to adhere to recommendations made by the Commission on Medical Aspects (COMA)

The Cambridge Diet is categorized as a very-low-calorie diet, starting as low as 415 calories/day, and as a fad diet.

Although people taking the diet lose weight at first, the weight loss is not sustainiable. The British Dietetic Association list the possible adverse side effects as including "bad breath, a dry mouth, tiredness, dizziness, insomnia, nausea and constipation", and say that any person eating fewer than 600 kcal per day should be medically supervised.

Camino Magico


Camino Mágico (The Magic Road) is a bilingual supermarket nutrition guide that was created by the Latino Nutrition Coalition. This printed pamphlet details ideas for nutritious foods and healthy shopping choices. The guide is distributed in shopping markets, doctor's offices, and community centers and was created with the goal of increasing awareness surrounding food choices and healthy eating habits. The guide was first launched in Houston, Texas in May 2007.

Camino Mágico is targeted towards the Latin American population, which is often referred to as the fastest growing minority population in the United States. Latinos have also been identified as having the fastest growing weight increase of any sub-group in the U.S. and are twice as likely to get diabetes once overweight.

Corn-free diet


A Corn-free diet is a diet that excludes foods containing corn. Although allergic reactions to corn are rare, reactions can be severe and can occur from consuming raw or cooked corn as well as products that contain corn. Preventing the symptoms of food allergy can be done by avoiding the allergenic food, therefore following a corn-free diet may be recommended if a corn allergy has been diagnosed. Following a corn-free diet may be challenging, as corn and corn products are commonly found in food products across the globe.

The following foods are known to possibly contain corn. Reading a food label is one way to determine whether or not each particular product contains corn. Reading all ingredient labels carefully and contacting food manufacturers with any questions will help one to avoid accidental corn intake

Ingredients to avoid include:

Corn may also be present in the following packaged foods:

Cookie diet


A cookie diet is a calorie restriction diet designed to produce weight loss, based on meal replacement in the form of a specially formulated cookie. Cookie diets include the Smart for Life Cookie Diet, Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet, Hollywood Cookie Diet and R&D Diet Cookie. All require 4 to 6 cookies per day, sometimes in addition to other food, such as one meal of six ounces of meat in the case of the Siegal diet.

In 1975, while researching a book on the effect of natural food substances on hunger, South Florida weight loss physician and author Sanford Siegal developed a proprietary mixture of certain amino acids and baked them into a cookie intended to control his patients' hunger. He instructed his patients to consume six cookies (approximately 500 calories) during the day to control hunger, and a dinner of approximately 300 calories in the evening. His "cookie diet" was a commercial success, and within a few years his practice had grown to 14 clinics in Florida and 10 in Latin America. By the mid-1980s, more than 200 other physicians were using Siegal's approach and products in their own practices. Siegal later introduced shake mixes and soup.

From 2002 to mid-2006, Siegal licensed U.S. Medical Care Holdings, LLC to open franchised weight loss centers that used Siegal's name, weight loss system, and cookies, shakes and soup. The company opened centers in the United States and Canada under various names including Siegal Smart for Life Weight Management Centers. The relationship between Siegal and his former franchise ended in August 2006. Siegal no longer supplies his products or licenses his name and weight loss system to USMCH. On September 25, 2008, USMCH filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Chinese food therapy


Chinese food therapy (simplified Chinese: 食疗; traditional Chinese: 食療; pinyin: shíliáo; literally: "food therapy", also called nutrition therapy and dietary therapy) is a mode of dieting rooted in Chinese understandings of the effects of food on the human organism, and centred on concepts such as eating in moderation. Its basic precepts are a mix of folk views and concepts drawn from traditional Chinese medicine. It was the prescientific analog of modern medical nutrition therapy and now qualifies as alternative medicine.

Food therapy has long been a common approach to health among Chinese people both in China and overseas, and was popularized for western readers in the 1990s with the publication of books like The Tao of Healthy Eating (Flaws 1995a) and The Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen (Young 1999), which also cites Flaws 1995b, Zhao & Ellis 1998, and Simonds 1999.

A number of ancient Chinese cookbooks and treatises on food (now lost) display an early Chinese interest in food, but no known focus on its medical value. The literature on "nourishing life" (养生; 養生; yangsheng) integrated advice on food within broader advice on how to attain immortality. Such books, however, are only precursors of "dietary therapy", because they did not systematically describe the effect of individual food items.

The earliest extant Chinese dietary text is a chapter of Sun Simiao's Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold (千金方; Qiānjīn fāng), which was completed in the 650s during the Tang dynasty. Sun's work contains the earliest known use of the term "food (or dietary) therapy" (食疗; 食療; shíliáo). Sun stated that he wanted to present current knowledge about food so that people would first turn to food rather than drugs when suffering from an ailment. His chapter contains 154 entries divided into four sections – on fruits, vegetables, cereals, and meat – in which Sun explains the properties of individual foodstuffs with concepts borrowed from the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon: qi, the viscera, and vital essence (精; jīng), as well as correspondences between the Five Phases, the "five flavors" (sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, and salty), and the five grains. He also set a large number of "dietary interdictions" (食禁; shíjìn), some based on calendrical notions (no water chestnuts in the 7th month), others on purported interactions between foods (no clear wine with horse meat) or between different flavors.

Cotton ball diet


The cotton ball diet is a diet that involves consuming cotton balls dipped in liquids such as juices or smoothies. The cotton is intended to make a person's stomach feel full without them gaining weight. The diet has been repeatedly condemned as dangerous.

The cotton balls can cause blockages in the digestive system. Blockage in the intestines could result in dehydration, death of the gastrointestinal tract and damage to internal organs. The diet will also result in a nutrition disorder.

The diet can also cause choking because the cotton balls cannot be broken down and must be eaten whole. Most cotton balls are made from bleached polyester rather than cotton, and toxins in the synthetic ingredients of cotton balls can build up over time and cause organ damage.

CRAM diet


The CRAM diet (cereal, rice, applesauce, and milk) is a short term dietary treatment for diarrhea and gastroenteritis. The CRAM diet has more complete protein and fat content than the BRAT diet.

The use of cereals, rice and milk as a stop-gap eating plan for stomach upset, has been validated as a more effective remedy to manage diarrhea than BRAT by recent research in hospitals in South America and Asia.

According to John Snyder, M.D., professor of pediatrics at the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center and a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics subcommittee on treating acute diarrhea:

"Not only does the CRAM diet seem to ease the diarrhea symptoms faster, but the milk gives the child more complete protein and needed fat, which is lacking in the BRAT diet."

Due to severe dehydration caused by both diarrhea and gastroenteritis, the CRAM eating plan should be combined with oral rehydration therapy (ORT) through the administration of liquids (e.g. Gatorade, Pedialyte) or food-based fluids (such as broth or gruels) to replace loss of fluids.

According to John Snyder, it's essential to combine the CRAM diet with an electrolyte-replacement drink. In addition, contact your doctor immediately if the diarrhea symptoms remain severe or if your child exhibits any symptoms of dehydration, such as dry mouth, lack of urination, listlessness, and rapid heart rate.

An alternative to the CRAM diet is the BRAT diet, which consists of bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast, the BRATT diet, which consists of bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, and tea, and the BRATTY diet which consists of bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, tea, and yogurt.

CRON-diet


The CRON-diet (Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition) is a nutrient-rich, reduced calorie diet developed by Roy Walford, Lisa Walford, and Brian M. Delaney. The CRON-diet involves calorie restriction in the hope that the practice will improve health and retard aging, while still attempting to provide the recommended daily amounts of various nutrients. Other names include CR-diet, Longevity diet, and Anti-Aging Plan. The Walfords and Delaney, among others, founded the CR Society International to promote the CRON-diet.

The CRON-diet was developed from data Walford compiled during his participation in Biosphere 2.

Proponents of the CRON-diet believe that everyone has what they call a "set-point": a weight, specific to an individual, at which each naturally stays when they eat their usual daily diet. Proponents believe that the set-point is determined through heredity and childhood eating habits. Proponents recommend that adherents remain 10–25% under their set-point, suggesting that this is necessary for the diet to be maximally effective.

A guideline that proponents use to determine an individual's set-point is to measure that person's body fat content. Proponents state that this should be 10–15% for females and 6–10% for males. Proponents suggest the use of skinfold test tools (they specifically recommend the "Fat-O-Meter"), certain digital scales, densiometry, and/or bioelectrical impedance analysis to determine the body fat content. Proponents then use the current weight and body fat content to determine the goal weight (below the set point), and plan and follow a preliminary diet until the goal weight is reached.

Next, the proponent determines the level of caloric restriction they wish to implement in their regular eating pattern. Proponents recommend a goal of restricting intake by 20%. The actual daily amount eaten depends on the adherent's basal metabolic rate (BMR). A common daily intake is 1800 calories per day.

Cyclic ketogenic diet


A cyclic ketogenic diet (or carb-cycling) is a low-carbohydrate diet with intermittent periods of high or moderate carbohydrate consumption. This is a form of the general ketogenic diet that is used as a way to maximize fat loss while maintaining the ability to perform high-intensity exercise. A ketogenic diet limits the number of grams of carbohydrate the dieter may eat, which may be anywhere between 0 and 50g per day. The remainder of the caloric intake must come primarily from fat sources, as well as protein sources, in order to maintain ketosis. (Ketosis is the condition in which the body burns fats and uses ketones instead of glucose for fuel.)

The Cyclical Ketogenic Diet can be complex, as it requires the dieters to closely watch the number of carbohydrate grams they eat during the intermittent period that they are not maintaining a strictly low carb/moderate protein diet.

When following a low carbohydrate diet, for the first few days, there is an adaptation period during which most people report feeling run-down or tired. Some people report feeling irritable, out of sorts, and unable to make decisions. For most people these feelings disappear after the adaptation period, however, and are replaced with feelings of calm and balance, and more consistent energy.

Although most people report a waning of cravings while in ketosis, some people may crave carbohydrates during ketosis for psychological reasons. During a hypocaloric ketogenic diet, the carb cravings may combine with hunger pangs, making matters worse. (However, it is noteworthy that most people report having no hunger pangs on a ketogenic diet, due to its higher fat and protein contents, which help to increase a sense of fullness).

A CKD offers a way to combat this. It offers a cyclical "refeed" (sometimes also called a carb-up). During this phase, the diet consists mostly of complex carbohydrates, with limited fat, sucrose and fructose. Since the glycogen stores in the liver and muscles are depleted, these carbohydrates go straight to refilling them, instead of being added to the body's fat stores. For this reason, the amount of calories consumed during a refeed can be far above an individual's usual dietary intake. While a typical CKD consists of 50g or less carbs per day, the typical refeed consists of 450-600g of carbs. Also a weight gain of 1-2 lbs is usually reported during refeeding. Which would mainly be water and will normally be lost in 2–4 days.
